Candidate status center with clear next steps and AI answers.
Recruit gives each candidate a secure private link showing where their application stands, what they need to do next, when to expect a reply, and how AI is used in screening. Each link is unique, time-limited, and works for one application only. This demo shows fixed sample data — no real candidate records.
Sample portal data only. No private candidate records are exposed.Senior Product Engineer
Demo application TR-DEMO-4821. Recruiter review is active and the next action is interview availability.
Secure private link access
Candidates open a status center from a unique, time-limited link linked to just that one application, not a shared candidate directory.
What candidates can see
Status, next steps, expected reply time, and candidate-owned documents are visible. Internal notes and recruiter scoring stay private.
Self-scheduling explained in advance
The portal prepares candidates for the existing self-booking invite flow and shows when scheduling will unlock.
Plain answers about AI screening
Candidates see plain-language answers about AI screening, human review, corrections, and what data is used.
A timeline that answers "what happens next?" without leaking internal hiring context.
The status center is intentionally narrow. It gives candidates enough context to trust the process and take the right action, while preserving recruiter-only evidence.
Candidate-visible timeline
Sample milestones show the live application stage, the next action, and a clear response expectation.
Next action card
The portal gives one primary instruction instead of asking candidates to infer what the hiring team needs.
- Action - Share interview availability after the scheduling invite arrives.
- Expected reply time - Recruiter reply expected within two business days while review is active.
- Contact rule - Ask a question from the portal instead of sending repeated status emails.
- Privacy rule - Internal recruiter notes, panel feedback, and internal AI assessment details are never shown here.
Self-scheduling is explained before it opens.
Candidates see that scheduling is coming, what kind of slots they will choose from, and why the link may not be available yet. When the recruiter advances the application, the real booking flow sends a secure private link.
Replaces vague "we will get back to you" messages with one clear scheduling state and an expectation for when the booking link will arrive.
Placeholders show the journey without pretending private steps are ready.
The portal reserves space for document requests, offer packets, and onboarding tasks, but keeps locked items clearly labelled until the candidate reaches that stage.
Documents
Onboarding preview
Selected candidates can later see background check, joining documents, and first-day tasks in the same center.
- Offer review - Candidate-facing offer status, expiry, and recruiter contact.
- Joining checklist - Identity, bank, policy, and equipment tasks after acceptance.
- No loss of access when moving to onboarding - Candidate does not lose context when the process moves from hiring to onboarding.
Plain answers about AI screening for candidates.
The FAQ is deliberately plain-spoken. It explains what AI can assist with, what humans still own, and how a candidate can correct information.
Does AI reject candidates automatically?
No. AI can organize job-related evidence and suggest review focus areas. A recruiter or hiring team member owns the decision.
What information does AI use?
Only hiring-process information such as the submitted resume, application answers, job criteria, and interview feedback that belongs in the hiring record.
Can a candidate correct information?
Yes. The status center directs candidates to the recruiter contact path so resume fields, contact details, or availability can be corrected.
What stays private?
Recruiter notes, internal panel deliberation, raw model output, and private evaluation details stay inside the authenticated hiring workspace.
